Neurodidáctica y metacognición en la educación oficial colombiana: Hacia un aprendizaje significativo
Education, as a social construct, should be focused on the formation of people around meaningful learning, although, as evidenced in Colombian classrooms, this seems to be a very distant possibility in many public schools (I. E.), in such way that term does not even seem to be found in the PEI curricular proposals. The purpose of this reflection lies in the intention of communicating a perceived need in official classrooms, to propose new ways of doing education and transforming contexts, through the promotion of metacognition as the ability to reason about the learning process itself, thus providing students with tools to build their own judgments and support them in their formation as critical individuals. Through the exposition of some authors works this document presents criticisms of the educational system and training, while proposing new approaches to improve and to become better teachers. It is concluded that it is urgent to make fundamental modifications to the academic curricula of Colombian public schools. It is also necessary to promote the insertion of neurodidactics in school life, in order to strengthen meaningful learning in students.
